Loving Love as an Idea

Like my tragic hero, Kierkegaard, I relish in the idea of being in love, not with love itself. Love can be cumbersome, if not ethically mortifying. Pathos and passion about an idea -- pure Kierkegaardian, and therefore more aesthetically appealing.

I think of the desire, and not of the thought of being there myself. Working everything out in one's mind is the essence of being human.
